girl

Soft toys, imaginary play. You're the mummy, taking care of your babies, you cuddle them and comfort them, already that maternal instinct so acute. Eager to understand the world, each day littered with questions, some easy, some not.

Dress ups, multiple times a day. Does this match? you ask. So determined, yet easily unsure you scamper close by my side, reassurance is your savour.

Pig-tails, accessories, pretty things.. Chatterbox, craft apprentice and kitchen helper...devouring fruit and baby spinach on a daily basis and the request for special sushi your treat. Baby cino at any cafe extra points if accompanied by a marshmallow.

Cuddles, kisses and loving me a billion plus infinity.

I thank Him every day you chose me to call your mum.

Crochet vest adapted from a cardigan pattern in Issue 1 of Simply Crochet Magazine. Instead of sleeves I did a simple scallop edge around the arm holes to finish off. This pattern uses 4 ply yarn...this colour is Gelato by Moda Vera, 1.2m of ribbon purchased at GJ's discount fabric and sealed at ends by hovering over a lighted match to stop it fraying.

Such beautiful words about your darling girl! And equally beautiful images! Her cardi is so very lovely. What a lucky little poppet to have such a clever and loving Mumma. Have a glorious week lovely one :) xx

Bren, this is SUCH a beautiful post. M is all of those thigs and even more. I just love the pictures and that adorable crocheted vest. You are an amazing mother, just like she is amazing. She's worth being grateful for. Xx
